Lyrics
I've got a hole in my shoe, I don't know what to do,
I can't run fast, 'cause my shoes won't last,
So I'm crawling home, crawling home to you.
I've got a hole in my sole, the pavement's getting cold,
My fever is high, but I'll get by,
Until I make it home, Make it home to you.
I don't know what to do, with a big hole in my shoe,
You know I'm feeling blue, but what else can I do?
I'm feeling blue, because of you...
I'm gonna cry myself to sleep, then take a giant leap,
I can't slide past, all this broken glass,
So I'm cutting home, cutting home to you.
I'm gonna slam it into place, forget about disgrace,
I can't refrain, all this frozen rain,
So I'm sliding home, sliding home to you,
Until I make it home, make it home to you.
